ANECDOTES OF HENRY WARD BEECHER.

In 1859 Mr.. Breecher preached at
LenoX, Mass. ''Oh, DEAR" ex-
claimed Miss Heron, the actress,
who was present, 81 did hope, when
left New York, | should leave the
stage behind me-"
When Park Benjamin was invited
to attend Plymouth Church and
complained of not knowing the way,
Mr.. Beecher told the poet to take
the ferry and follow the crowd. II
wonld come" replied Benjamin,
''only that make it an invariable
rule never to 60 to any place of
amusement on Sunday"
In 1860 Mr.. Beecher was invited
by the Mercantile Library Associa-
ton of st. Louis to lecture, but
with the understanding that he
should "esc/teao all matters pert in
ing to politics and religion" The
characteristic reply was: 81 am too
much of patriot to eschew the one
and too good a Christian to neglect
the other" and in closing, chopped
that before long the young men of
st. Louis would be able to listen,
without shrinking, to the free
speech of an honest man."
His lecture was on "Young
America" and up to November of
that year he had received 500 invi-
tations for the winter lecturing
hour.
One pleasant Sabbath morning,
so the story runs, on the way to
church Beecher went up to num-
Der of boys playing marbles and ex-
claimed, "What, boys, playing mar
bles on the Sabbath day! Why, you
brighten mel" Upon which one of
the little sinners answered, bright
ened! ha! Why in the ID don't
you run them"
When Mr.. Breecher tried to stop
running horse-cars in Brooklyn on
Sundays, for the sake of the con-
ductors and drivers, he unbeknown
questioned a conductor, who re-
piled: eff that sanctimonious hypo-
critic Bcecher would shut up his es-
adjustment the thing could be
done"
Mr.. Beecher inquired of some

DR.. Todd is credited with the
famous division, "Saints, sinners

FROM GREAT WEALTH TO EXTREME
POVERTY.

Philadelphia, Feb. 27--Richard
Penistan has just been admitted to
the Forrest Home. He was q rich
man q few years ago, but has be-
come beggar. He and his wife
were of English birth. They were
members of the stock company of
the Archstreet Theatre, and played
important parts before Wheatley
and Drew became the lessees, about
1852. Mrs. Penistan, who died
long ago, was also playwright, and
several of her plays were represent
ed on the American stage. Soon
after the dissolution of the old Arch
street Company, Mr.. Penistan open
ed a drinking place. He had n
large patronage, and in the course
of time accumulated n good deal of
money. In 1873 the official an
nouncement of the drawing of the
Royal Havana Lottery informed him
that his 500 ticket had drawn $500
600. AT this time he was the owner
of sixty-two horses, many of them
very valuable. In company with
his friend Whitney, the brewer, Mr..
Penistan at once went to New York
and placed the ticket for collection
with August Belmont, receiving in
cash, after some delay and a ltiga-
ton with Mr.. Whitney, who claimed
share of the prize, which was,
however, disallowed by the courts,
S420,00O.
Upon returning to Philadelphia,
Mr.. Penistan sold his place on
Chestnut street, with q PARTON of
the stock, for $4,000, In all he
had undoubtedly at least $500, 900.
He was genial man and had
many friends, some of them true
ones, who advised him to put half, if
not more, of his money in a trust
fund. Instead of this he began
operations on Third street. Inside
of two years he had dropped there
from 100000 to 100000. His
dealing in horses, too, went on all
the while, and he lost heavily on a
stud farm near Lexington, Ky. He
was, besides this, badly defrauded
by the agents who ran or trotted his
horses in races, and his blooded
colts when sold at auction, although
well advertised and of irreproach-
able pedigree, went for song, buy
ers combining not to bid against
each other and dividing up the
poorly paid for stock afterward. In
fact, he was remorselessly skinned
by horsemen, and in less than six
years was reduced to bare living
upon the income of some few invest
ments he had made in wealthy days.
This finally was exhausted, and for
some years past he has been endcbt-
ed to the kindness of friends for his
subsistence.
He, however, bred some noted
horses, one of which, Krafton, a
trotter, with record of 2:15, was
sold to Robert Bonner for SIS, 900.
Mr.. Bonner also bought his Lady
Stewart, with a record of 1928, the
fastest time up to then that Il D.
year-old had ever made.
In his prosperous days, too, he
occasionally appeared upon the
stage in heavy tragedy, hiring the
house himself and playing with a
good deal of spirit, and not without
approval, and he now finds a home
in the pleasant retreat endowed by
the great actors, of whom he was a
most fervent admirer. All his
friends believe that if Richard PEN
istan had not drawn that lottery
prize he would to-day be wealthy
man. Corr. n. Y. Sun.
